I was thinking of having resolutions for the issues that are currently
warnings in red and multi-vendor buy-in. (Previously, Tab from Google
was interested in making SVG parsing non-Draconian, but I have no idea
how reflective of wider buy-in that remark was.)

I would expect the spec to take a byte stream as input, specify how
the encoding is determined, delegate the decoding from bytes to
Unicode code points to the Encoding Standard and then define how the
code point stream is processed into a DOM tree. (Bonus points for
defining a coercion to an XML 1.0 4th ed. Infoset, too, for
non-browser use cases.) That would include the processing of
Namespaces.
